<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Carl has asked me to send his greetings and
thank yous to all of his friends at dcml who sent birthday cards to him, either
directly or via Michael Naiman. He regrets that he is no longer able to
write to each of his fans individually. He hopes that you will understand and
accept this message of response.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">His birthday came off very well. He was out to
dinner with a few close friends including two who came half way across the
country to be with him. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
